Benefits of CBD oil

What is CBD oil?

CBD oil is not marijuana, it does not contain the part of cannabis plant that is responsible for causing a “high”. It is made from a cannabis compound called cannabidiol (CBD) that is found in all cannabis plants. This compound interacts with our body through the endocannabinoid system, which is the system that regulates the bodies normal homeostasis. As the environment around us affects our body’s normal state of balance, the endocannabinoid system keeps our bodies leveled.

Hemp and Cannabis Based Therapies Are on the Rise

Researchers found an estimated $165.2 million in savings in 2013 in Medicare spending on the prescription drugs that treat some of the same conditions that marijuana may be used to treat, according to the study. That was the same year that 17 states and the District of Columbia implemented medical marijuana lawsFox News reported.

With massive pharmaceutical companies losing potential profits from their “Wonder Tonics” and “Miracle Pills”, to rivals such as Medical Cannabis; it’s no wonder that the pill producing companies are nervous.

This study was done using statistics from 2013. So, I truly feel that the total amount of money that could have been saved by Medicare and Medicaid has grown exponentially. Based on their results, the researchers estimated that the Medicare program would have saved about $468 million on prescription medications if all states had implemented medical marijuana.

There are many conspiracy theories about big pharmaceutical companies meeting with politicians behind closed doors to create legislation that would protect their interests and deny the advancement of any other possible cures and remedies that they [pharmaceutical companies] couldn’t profit from. I have been hearing these rumors for decades.

However, numbers and facts don’t lie and sneak around in the shadows. The study done shows that there were decreases in the number of prescriptions written for medications other than cannabis. For instance, prescriptions for drugs to treat pain were lower by 1,826 daily doses in the states where medical cannabis was legal compared with states where it was not legal (where the average was 31,810 daily doses).
